  • Oregon State Lottery Director's Paper Video
    OREGON STATE LOTTERY DIRECTOR’S PAPER VIDEO LOTTERY COMPENSATION RATES and RETAILER CONTRACT 2015 JANUARY 29, 2015 I. BACKGROUND On June 28, 2015, the current retailer contracts expire. By this date, the Oregon State Lottery must have in place new retailer contracts to provide for the sale of Lottery products to the public. Without the Lottery’s network of retailers, the Lottery cannot sell its products, either traditional or Video Lottery. Thus the continuation of our contractual relations with our retailers is essential to generating revenue and meeting the Lottery’s constitutional and statutory mandates. II. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS (a) Balance of Goals: The Oregon Lottery Commission is required by law to maximize revenue for the state while providing a reasonable rate of return for the retailers who sell Lottery products on behalf of the Lottery. “In establishing its schedule of payments to contractors, the Oregon State Lottery Commission shall undertake to develop a system that maximizes the net revenue to the state for the public purpose consistent with providing a reasonable rate of return for contractors.” (emphasis added) ORS 461.445 In litigation brought by individuals seeking to maximize Oregon Lottery revenues available for education, the Oregon Supreme Court had the opportunity to interpret this statutory language and provide guidance on how the Oregon Lottery Commission is to accomplish this task. “Under ORS 461‐445, the Lottery is to “undertake to develop a system” that has two goals, viz., ‘maximiz[ing] the net revenue to the state” and “providing a reasonable rate of return” to the retailers. In that context, the 1 outcome—a “system”—is to be the result of a process— “develop[ment]”—by the Lottery that harmonizes two competing goals.

    Philip D. Murphy, Governor Sheila Y. Oliver, Lt. Governor Elizabeth Maher Muoio, State Treasurer John M. White, Acting Executive Director Benefits Education and Institutions FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Inquiries: MaryAnn Rivell Public Information Office [email protected] Phone: (609) 599-5875 Oregon Lottery Ticket Hits Powerball Jackpot New Jersey Sells Three $50,000 Tickets in Wednesday’s Drawing TRENTON (June 21, 2018) – New Jersey Lottery Acting Executive Director John M. White announced that an Oregon Lottery ticketholder won the $150.4 million Powerball jackpot from the Wednesday, June 20 drawing. The winning numbers for Wednesday night’s drawing were: 04, 14, 23, 27 and 56. The Red Power Ball was 13, and the Multiplier was 02. The Powerball jackpot resets to $40,000,000 for the next drawing to be held on Saturday, June 23 at 10:59 pm. In addition, three New Jersey Lottery tickets were sold that matched the four white balls and the Powerball drawn, winning the $50,000 third prize. Those tickets were purchased at the following locations: • Essex County: Grove Convenience, 133 Grove St., Montclair; • Middlesex County: Speedway #3444, 413-429 Smith & Grace St., Perth Amboy; and • Morris County: Quick Chek #57, 29 Jackson Ave., Pompton Plains. If those tickets had been purchased with the Power Play Multiplier option, it would have multiplied the prize to $100,000. In addition to the third-tier prizewinning tickets sold, there were 28,396 New Jersey players who took home an estimated $145,874 in prizes ranging from $4 to $200, according to White. “Congratulations to all of the lottery players who purchased winning tickets and to the retailers that sold them,” said White.

  • For Immediate Release April 2, 2020 Contact: Anna Domoto 515-453-1401 [email protected]
    For Immediate Release April 2, 2020 Contact: Anna Domoto 515-453-1401 [email protected] Update – Game sales and interest rates to determine advertised Powerball jackpot Guaranteed starting jackpot amounts & minimum jackpot increases to be eliminated URBANDALE, Iowa – The Powerball Product Group today announced its decision to determine Powerball’s advertised jackpot based on game sales and interest rates. Following the April 8 drawing, guaranteed starting jackpot amounts and minimum jackpot increases will be eliminated, and future jackpot increases will be determined and announced by the Product Group prior to each drawing. Previously, Powerball® jackpots started at $40 million (annuity) and increased by a minimum of $10 million (annuity) between drawings. “These changes are necessary to ensure that ticket sales can support the Powerball jackpot and other lower-tier cash prizes,” said Gregg Mineo, Powerball Product Group Chairman and Maine Lottery Director. “Our number one priority is making sure that the Powerball game can continue to assist lotteries in raising proceeds for their beneficiaries.” The Powerball Product Group announced plans last week to reduce the starting jackpot to $20 million (annuity) and minimum jackpot increases to $2 million (annuity) between drawings. Those changes were scheduled to go into effect after the current jackpot was won. However, due to the evolving COVID-19 pandemic, the Powerball Product Group revisited the topic and decided Powerball’s advertised jackpot should be determined by game sales and interest rates effective following the drawing next Wednesday. “Since last week, more states and cities have asked their residents to stay at home, which has affected normal consumer behaviors and Powerball game sales,” said Mineo.
